Implications Of MA Growth
Do practice changes associated with growing enrollment in Medicare
Advantage (MA) spill over to enrollees in traditional Medicare?
This month in Health Affairs, Fangli Geng and coauthors examine MA
penetration rates
<[link removed]>
across health care markets. They determine that as Medicare Advantage
expands, postacute care use in both it and traditional Medicare
declines, without a corresponding increase in hospital readmissions.
This negative association is stronger in markets with a higher rate of
traditional Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in accountable care
organizations, the authors report, "suggesting that the combination of
these two separate programs results in greater efficiency in postacute
care delivery."
These findings indicate policy makers should look at the implications of
MA expansion for both MA spending and traditional Medicare. For the full
discussion of the policy implications of their research, read Geng and
coauthors' entire paper online today.
